Floral soaps can be difficult to execute since *most* floral fragrances are known to accelerate trace. I can't seem to pull off too many fancy designs with such fragrances so I chose the drop swirl technique for this batch. I had no idea how I was going to texture the top. So I decided to use the remaining colors and a small spoon to texture it. The video below details how I executed the drop swirl. Here are a few quick tips when attempting the swirl:~ This swirl works best when your soap is brought to a medium trace. ~ The higher you pour from the top of the soap, the lower the soap will sit in the bar. The closer you pour to the surface of the soap, the higher your swirl with sit in the bar. ~ If you're going for a singular drop of soap look in your final bar, only make ONE pass with your soap. Making multiple passes with the soap will create a different look.
